Q: I received a letter from immigration denying my naturalization that was filed in 2016. Need a lawyer to discuss specific
I filed for naturalization in 2016 when i enlisted in the army. During the cause of this time I was moved from one military base location to another within the period of 7 months allowing little or no time to provide immigration with documents they had requested at the time. When I returned back to my home of record in Madison, I went to the local Milwaukee field office to ascertain the situation of my case. On three several visits coupled with dozens of phone calls over the cause of 2017 & 2018, I was told my application was under review and no decision had yet been made. I am expected to leave the Army this Dec. 2018. However, Due to bully and racial prejudice suffered by my person whilst I was with my unit here in Madison, led me to abandon my final Annual training drill of 2018. Specifics of the issue that arose can be discussed in detail with evidence of complaints I filed to my above command but nothing was done. Immigration sent me a denial letter expecting a reply in 30 days.
A:
First, do what you can to stay in and get an honorable. Check with JAG corps on that. For immigration, you want to connect with a member of AILA in Madison.
There is a type of therapy called EMDR that is good for anxiety and any PTS you may have from harassment. If there are support groups for troops that have those issues, formally or informally, might also be a good stress reliever and give you emotional resources. Good luck!
A: Your best bet to find an attorney in your area is to contact the local bar association or go through the American Immigration Law Association.
